<p>I&#39;ve noticed that every time I start Media Composer these two lines about memory is written to the EVENTLOG.LOG (located at C:\Users\Public\Documents\Avid Media Composer\Avid FatalErrorReports).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Should I be worried about that?</p>
<p>I&#39;ve looked around the web and found out that AWE is &quot;Address Windowing Extensions&quot; that is &quot;a set of extensions that allows an application to quickly manipulate physical memory greater than 4GB&quot; according to Microsoft <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/memory/address-windowing-extensions">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/memory/address-windowing-extensions</a></p>
<p><br />The page says that for it to work &quot;An application must have the Lock Pages in Memory privilege to use AWE. To obtain this privilege, an administrator must add Lock Pages in Memory to the user&#39;s User Rights Assignments.&quot;</p>
<p><br />At Avid I&#39;ve found a couple of mentions of this &quot;Lock pages in Memory&quot;:</p>
<p><br /><a href="http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/How_To/Windows-User-Rights-Requirements-for-Media-Composer">http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/How_To/Windows-User-Rights-Requirements-for-Media-Composer</a> says that the MC installer creates a usergroup with the requered privileges.</p>

I am very fed up with how much I struggle to simply export my footage from avid media composer!<br /><br />I shoot on GH4s and GH5s, 4K and 1080 H.264 .mov&rsquo;s. Avid&rsquo;s video column says: AVC Long-GOP High.<br /><br />I link to the footage and edit with proxies.<br /><br />The issues arise when I&rsquo;m exporting the sequences linked to the masters. I usually export animation, DNxHR, but compression type doesn&rsquo;t seem to have any part in the issue.<br /><br />If I am linked with the Avid generic plug-in my colours are all wrong and clearly change when switching between quicktime and generic linking. The Quicktime linking is closest to what I see in camera. also with the generic linking I get random skipping of frames at the end of&nbsp; some shots, it is very oticeable and throws of the edit completely! <br /><br />But if I am linked with QT it is even worse, the export will have random flashes of comppletely green frames through out the whole export. <br /><br />So far my only work around has been to transcode the QT linked sequence so the colours are right and when exporting the transcodes the other issues do not occur.<br /><br />This is not good for me as I export a lot of projects, all the time with 1 hr plus runtimes! Transcoding it all just to export it is not a good workflow, it takes up so much space and time! And is adding rounds of compression or alteration I&rsquo;d prefer to skip!<br /><br />This can&rsquo;t be acceptable from an editing program. I should be able to get my project out of the program with out such a plethera of issues and unsatifactory work arounds!!!!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>How will it work?

<p>I&#39;m just wondering what the point of the settings.xml file is, if not all the settings are stored in it?</p>
<p>Eg. As far as I can tell, something as basic and fundamental as format settings for projects (ie. the parameters in the format tab in MC), are still stored in the *.avp binary project file, and not in the projects settings xml file (at least in my version:2018.12.3.51505). Is there a good reason why settings are stored in multiple locations in this way?</p>
<p>I understand that not all settings can be changed effectively without the possibility for errors ie. changing timebase - but still no real reason to reserve them or store these seperately in the project file?</p>
<p>Let&#39;s say I want to change a bunch of interlaced projects into progressive ones, or even create a bunch of projects at once, change the raster or framerate of some - can&#39;t do it by editing just the settings xml, as all these settings are hard coded into the projects .avp binary. </p>
<p>&nbsp;This means that if I want to automate this kind of thing, then I have to overwrite or bundle project files and xml&#39;s, one for each format type / configuration of settings I need. It gets really complicated fast. </p>
<p>Also, let&#39;s say I&#39;m working with multiple editors. When I create a project, the basic settings such as raster and framerate are written into the avp file, and a bunch of defaults are written into the xml. When I enter the project, MC creates a user/machine folder and copies the settings and project file from the root, into the machine folder. If I edit any setting with a <i>&#39;Project&#39;</i> status in the settings tab, then this setting is only unique for the current machine, and not global for the actual project - which you might expect might happen if you edit a &#39;project&#39; setting. Surely this is a unique &#39;Machine Project&#39; setting? and the User, Site and Project distinctions now become confusing and complex too.</p>
<p>This means then, that if I truly want these settings to be simple global settings for the project, then I have to use windows to copy the files from my machine folder into the root of the project folder and overwrite the settings and project files there.</p>
<p>We call this the &#39;Cowboy Trick&#39; - because it is a trick for a <i>cowboy</i> ie. a non-prof, shabby person, doing a half hearted and bad job <img src="http://community.avid.com/emoticons/emotion-18.gif" alt="Huh?" /></p>
<p>I have not yet found a tick box or setting in MC, that enables me to &#39;Apply project settings globally for all users&#39; - is this at all possible?</p>
<p>If not, a truly external project settings xml that all users can inherit from would be a giant step, and a huge help for people like me who want to create and change lots of projects at a time for multiple users. It would be a much cleaner and tidier, better way to keep global project settings in one place.</p>
<p>I&#39;m sure there are more pros than cons for most typical users if MC worked this way.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I have a very strange error that appeared after installing MC 2018.12.2.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The error is that you can not transcode video clips that have been AMA linked on a different computer than the one where you want to transcode. On the other PC, this error is shown as on bottom.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Interestingly, the case concerns only clips, which in our case come from cameras like GoPro or DJI OSMO.</p>
<p>All clips that come from Sony PMW-300 cameras and are recorded as XDCAM 422 50Mb do not show the problem described above.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Additionally:</p>
<p>- The duration of the clip is double on clips linked with GoPro and DJI OSMO</p>
<p>- When an error occurs, it is NOT POSSIBLE to transcode on the first PC (AMA Linked on the one where the clips have been), AMA LINK needs to be re-enabled</p>
<p>- When I want to view the clip on the second PC, which is there, the MEDIA OFFLINE in the PRV window has an image but no sound</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Procedure:</p>
<p>- clips from the card are copied to the network share</p>
<p>- network share is visible on PC through Symbolic Links (aka Symlinks)</p>
<p>- after copying the clips are AMA Link in Composer</p>
<p>- clips are described and sorted</p>
<p>- Then on the second PC the same project and the same bins are opened (BINs are previously closed on the first PC) and</p>
<p>- the transcoded option of selected clips, which are AMA Linked on the Avid ISIS 5500 workspace, is run</p>
<p>and then an error occurs.</p>

Loading media file information and relink http://c2.avid.com/forums/thread/865683.aspxMon, 19 Nov 2018 17:54:40 GMT33dbc7b4-0359-4be4-a659-9f674152ccc7:865683Jaucker6http://c2.avid.com/forums/thread/865683.aspxhttp://c2.avid.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=49&PostID=865683<p>Hello,</p>
<p>Does anyone have this going on?&nbsp;</p>
<p>Everytime I insert a clip into my sequence avid says its &quot;Loading media file information&quot; with a progress bar that takes about 2 secs and then &quot;relinking to media&quot; progress bar. Does anyone know whats causing this? And how I can get it to not do this?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I noticed it only does this with clips that have 4K footage.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I am using transcoded footage (DNxHRx) and the media is on an Internal hard drive. I am using PC and Avid 2018.10. My project settings are 23.976, 3240x1080</p>

I have isolated the byte sequence in .avb files that make Avid bins unique. I can create new bins with unique IDs outside of Media Composer by writing random values to these bytes. But I have no clue how this ID is structured, if it&#39;s trully random or if there is some order to it.</p>
<p>To make it a bit more clear--each Avid bin has a unique ID. This is what prevents you from opening the attic bin and the parent bin at the same time. The bins may have different file names but if the ID is the same they are considered to be the same bin by Media Composer. This logic works well for attic retreaval in a way. But I&#39;m writing automation tools and want to avoid creating invalid IDs.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>Exporting Screenshothttp://c2.avid.com/forums/thread/882209.aspxFri, 17 May 2019 13:36:35 GMT33dbc7b4-0359-4be4-a659-9f674152ccc7:882209Terry Snyder3http://c2.avid.com/forums/thread/882209.aspxhttp://c2.avid.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=49&PostID=882209<p>Whenever I export a single frame (Windows Image NTSC) as a screenshot, it includes all the video tracks, even if some of the tracks are not selected.&nbsp;&nbsp; For example, if I want to export a shot on V1 without overlaying graphics on V2, I have to temporarily delete V2 before exporting a screenshot of V1.&nbsp; This is different from a video mixdown, where only the selected tracks are included in the mixdown.&nbsp; Am I missing something or is this the way it is supposed to work?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>Is MC's UI snappy for you?http://c2.avid.com/forums/thread/882213.aspxFri, 17 May 2019 16:41:45 GMT33dbc7b4-0359-4be4-a659-9f674152ccc7:882213Damien LeVeck5http://c2.avid.com/forums/thread/882213.aspxhttp://c2.avid.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=49&PostID=882213<p>I&#39;ve come to accept that Media Composer is a little slow. It can&#39;t keep up with me. I&#39;m a fast editor. But I always get ahead of my own keystrokes. I&#39;ll make an insert edit, and I have to wait anywhere between .5-2 seconds before the edit happens.</p>
<p>Does this happen for you? In Final Cut, Resolve, or Premiere, this is not an issue.</p>
<p>I wonder if it has to do with the project being hosted on shared storage. I&#39;m using an Avid-certified computer. A Lenovo P710 with a Quaddro M4000.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The footage is 1080p23.98.&nbsp;</p>
<p>There is nothing terribly taxing about the work I&#39;m doing.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The project is also pretty small.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Any thoughts on this?&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>Remove all Audio effects from the timelinehttp://c2.avid.com/forums/thread/882199.aspxFri, 17 May 2019 09:40:09 GMT33dbc7b4-0359-4be4-a659-9f674152ccc7:882199Unbrokenpedra3http://c2.avid.com/forums/thread/882199.aspxhttp://c2.avid.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=49&PostID=882199<p>Hey</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>having an issue, I can&#39;t seem to remove all the audio effects from my timeline without removing the audio itself.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Usually I would open the effects editor, select everything right to left and press the remove effect, but in this verions its removing everything inc the audio.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I assume they have changed how you can do it, but I can&#39;t figure or find what I need to do in order to do it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Anybody run across this error recently?&nbsp; <b>VDM3BobVideoOut::Setup:Unexpected state</b> </p>
<p>Shows up in the source window as I&#39;m logging clips, usually when shuttling video.&nbsp; Effectively freezes MC and sometimes causes it to crash.&nbsp; It&#39;s annoying as all get-out, and the only way to avoid the error is to restart avid with my Blackmagic Device disabled.&nbsp; Of course, that makes it sort of hard to work with any efficiency...&nbsp; Seems to run normally without my BM hardware connected.</p>
<p>I&#39;ve experienced this running MC2018.10 and 2018.8, but not prior to those versions.&nbsp; I ran 2018.3 for months without this issue.&nbsp; I have reason to believe that this has something to do with my Blackmagic Mini Monitor and newer versions of MC, but as far as I know I&#39;m running the Avid recommended BM drivers (most current 10.11.4, and previously I ran 2018.8 with BM 10.11.2 and experienced the same problem).&nbsp; Now running on a clean install of Windows 10 Pro with dual GTX1070 cards and a newer GeForce driver.</p>
<p>Got any ideas what this could be caused by?</p>
<p>EDIT:</p>
<p>I got one more error just now, one I hadn&#39;t seen yet:</p>
<p>&quot;Exception: Fatal Open I/O Error - Callback consistency check failure&quot;</p>

<p>I have a serious problem with the opening time of BINs and Sequences.</p>
<p>BIN can open up to 20 minutes.</p>
<p>The attempt to open the sequence is up to 15 minutes.</p>
<p>BINs are not so big, they are from a few to several sequences.</p>
<p>Sequences that open long are in very small BINs</p>
<p>(1 sequence)</p>

After each edit I make on the timeline, the machine &#39;hangs&#39; for around a second and a half - blue circle - before I can hit play or do anything else. Usual stuff of turning off all clip colours other than source, (inc offline colour), turning off dynamic relink, switching playlength to 1 and closing all bins with sequences so only one bin, one sequence is active.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Nothing helps.&nbsp;</p>
<p>However. I&#39;ve just spotted in the console that it keeps brining up:&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>BuildPipes Concurrency Alert - BuildPipes starting with BuildPipes in progress!</b></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So, I entered showbptime into the console to see what was going on - and it seems that the culprit is:</p>

<p>Awesome.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now.. what the hell is it, and how do I speed it up??</p>
